I've been doin' lots of time
Workin' on Love's assembly line
And now it's kinda hard to make my way
Love has made for a hell of a day

Hell of a day is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
Say, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way
Well, Love has made for a hell of a day

So you can get on with your life, baby
And I can get on with mine
There ain't no time for heartbreak or sorrow
You can't be too concerned over spilled wine

Hell of a day is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
And now it's kinda hard to make my way
Love has made for a hell of a day

(4 measures instrumental)

I've been workin' with the heart's metallurgy
And the nights have become cold
In this world, a lonesome feelin'
You can't turn silver into gold

Hell of a day, yeah, is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
And now it's kinda hard to make my way
Love has made for a hell of a day

Hell of a day is what love has made
They never said love was an easy trade
Say, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way
Well, Love has made for a hell of a day
